where the fuck is Bill Gates? why isn’t he screaming about the #NIH and Kennedy’s evisceration of #HHS ?

where are Oprah, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Lebron James, the Kardashians, all of them paper billionaires?

where is Mark Cuban? and how about the Democrats’ favorite billionaires, Michael Bloomberg and Howard Schulz?

where exactly are all the good billionaires fighting Trump’s destruction of the federal government and what semblance of democracy USA had?

#RFKJr Orders #CDC to Study Alleged Harms of Offshore #WindFarms

In late summer, #HHS instructed #CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health to prepare research about #WindFarms’ impact on fishing businesses…. #RFKJr has personally met with #NIOSH director John Howard about the issue & listed particular experts for Howard’s team to contact. The office of the #US #SurgeonGeneral has also been involved…, which HHS leadership…had aimed to have completed within a couple months.
